Heriot-Watt University

Summer School giving a broad overview of software verification techniques, addressing both bottom-up and top-down approaches with a strong focus on the formal representation and reasoning themes

The school consists of eight introductory lectures, each concentrating on an unique aspect of one or both of the overall themes. The topics of the lectures include inductive theorem proving; SAT and SMT solving; proof planning and rippling; rely/guarantee conditions; separation logic; operating system verification; BiGraphs and formal analysis of security.



The school is intended for PhD students and researchers working within one or both of these themes, however familiarity with any of the techniques is not a prerequisite. All lectures are meant to be introductory.
